The seven unreleased tracks that Chris Cornell recorded in the months prior to his death are to finally see the light of day. The songs, recorded at the late frontman's home studio in Florida in 2017, have been at the centre of a legal battle between Soundgarden and Cornell's widow, Vicky Cornell. The news was confirmed in a statement posted  on Cornell's Instagram account. 

“Soundgarden and Vicky Cornell, on behalf of the Estate of Chris Cornell, are happy to announce they have reached an amicable out of court resolution,” read the statement. “The reconciliation marks a new partnership between the two parties, which will allow Soundgarden fans around the world to hear the final songs that the band and Chris were working on.
